The HSM Mod (1.21.6, 1.8.9) is a lightweight utility mod designed to address one of Minecraft’s most frustrating bugs: the item reset glitch caused by the Mending enchantment when collecting XP. If you’ve ever had your pickaxe or tool visually reset or momentarily disappear from your hand while mining, especially in SkyBlock or PvE servers, this mod is for you.
Available for both Fabric and Forge, HSM works quietly in the background by correcting how XP and Mending interact with your held item. It also includes a fix for SkyBlock drill desync issues, making it especially valuable on Hypixel or similar modded environments.

Features:
- Fixes Mending + XP Reset Bug:
Prevents the annoying visual/item desync when collecting experience while holding a Mending tool. No more disappearing pickaxes mid-mining. - SkyBlock Drill UUID Fix:
Implements unique item identification logic to avoid drill tool resets and drops in SkyBlock scenarios. - Cross-Version Compatibility:
Works on modern versions like 1.21.6 and older ones like 1.8.9, ensuring stability across various server and modpack environments. - Lightweight & Non-Intrusive:
Doesn’t add new items, commands, or menus. Purely fixes backend behavior for smoother gameplay.

Why use HSM Mod?
If you play Minecraft with Mending tools, especially in mining-heavy scenarios, you’ve likely experienced a sudden item “reset” or visual glitch — where your tool appears to vanish or unequip while gaining XP. This issue can disrupt gameplay and, in SkyBlock environments, even cause inventory desyncs or lost tools.
HSM Mod offers a simple yet effective fix. It targets this exact problem using intelligent UUID checks and item handling logic, ensuring that Mending doesn’t interfere with item consistency. It’s especially beneficial for:
- Hardcore miners using Mending pickaxes
- SkyBlock players using drills or tools tied to XP
- Modded players who want stability without bloated features
If you want smooth mining and stable tool usage, HSM is a must-have.
